 tors with excellent technical writing skills stand out from the crowd\, in
  the quality of their translations and in their income potential. But too 
 few technical translators consider the style of the texts they produce.\n\
 nKaren will briefly start by reviewing the techniques for producing optima
 l texts that convey information effectively\, precisely\, clearly\, and co
 ncisely – the basic principles of good technical writing – and then mo
 ve on to more advanced techniques.\n\nKaren works into English\, but the m
 aterials are structured so that people working into any language will have
  to reflect on which of the ideas apply for their target language: first t
 heoretically and then practically after the coffee break. Translators who 
 work into English but not typically on technical texts will also be consid
 ered: they will be encouraged to reflect on which principles apply for all
  English texts and which they need to jettison for their work.\n\nThe enti
 re event will be interactive. The second portion will be hands-on and incl
 ude sample texts that highlight problem areas to edit in small groups acco
 rding to target language (groups will be formed on the day). Attendees sho
 uld leave knowing how to apply the theory and practical tips presented\, s
 tarting on Monday morning!\nOur speaker\nKaren McMillan Tkaczyk first trai
 ned as a chemist\, then after having children changed course and became a 
 freelance technical translator and editor. She has been translating\, edit
 ing and proofreading since 2006.\n\nKaren has more than a decade of in-per
 son training and public speaking under her belt. She gives much of her tra
 ining in two areas: scientific subject-matter expertise for translators\, 
 and great scientific and technical writing and editing.\n\nKaren is origin
 ally from the UK and has lived in the US since 1999. Karen is a Fellow of 
 ITI and a tutor on its Setting up as Freelance Translator course\; she is 
 heavily involved in the American Translators Association and currently ser
 ves as its Secretary. She tweets as @ChemXlator.\n\nVenue &amp\; Lunch\nTh
